沼泽和沿海河口是地球上最有价值的生态系统之一。 它们不仅是种类繁多的植物和动物的家园,而且它们的作用就像巨大的海绵或水库。 当大雨引发洪水时,沼泽和其他湿地会吸收多余的水,减轻洪水的影响。 沼泽还可以保护沿海地区免受风暴潮的影响,风暴潮会冲走脆弱的海岸线。 沼泽生态系统还充当水处理厂,过滤废物并自然净化水。 但在历史的大部分时间里,湿地都被视为险恶而令人生畏的荒地,如今正面临着气候变化、栖息地丧失和污染的严重威胁。
Splice 探索:沼泽通过声音和音乐发掘这些珍贵生态系统的惊人多样性。 由 Splice 的内部团队和制作人/艺术家盖伦·蒂普顿 (Galen Tipton) 录制,我们捕捉到了大量粘糊糊的、滴水的、紧张的、厚重的、奇怪的混乱声音,这些声音你会在美国南部的沼泽中发现。 该包包括震耳欲聋的青蛙叫声、幽灵般的猫头鹰叫声、精致的蜻蜓翅膀拍动以及使用水听器发出的大量奇怪的水下声音。 除了许多高保真干燥现场录音之外,盖伦还将精选的声音处理成完全独特的彩色低音和超流行打击乐、鼓、合成器和效果器,这些声音对于任何流行或电子制作来说都是完美的隐藏宝石。
这确实是一款独一无二的包,它不仅将您带到一个珍贵而奇异的地下世界,而且还是一个迷你库,其中包含您在其他任何地方都找不到的完全不寻常的声音。 今天探索这个包!
特别感谢生态学家 Julie L. Whitbeck、生物学家 Gina Zwicky、新奥尔良郊外的 Jean Lafitte 国家历史公园和保护区、密西西比州的 Bayou Cocodrie 国家野生动物保护区以及路易斯安那州的珠江野生动物管理区为我们的录音提供的帮助 。
俄亥俄州本地人盖伦·蒂普顿 (Galen Tipton) 以自己的名字和“康复女孩”身份发行音乐,受到了 iggy pop、david byrne、adult Swim 和 anthony fantano 等人的认可。 她在 Orange Milk Records、Deskpop 和 Unseelie 上发布了许多项目,与各种类型的互联网流派的无数艺术家合作,包括实验音乐巨头,如 Giant Claw(因 Deaths Dynamic Shroud 成名)、Holly Waxwing、Seth Graham 和 Nmesh 以及地下乐队 流行偶像如 Lil Mariko、GFOTY、Putochinomaricon 和 Moodkiler。 她有自己的品牌“社区花园”,专注于社区建设、共享和可达性。 最近,她的“brain scrap”音乐在抖音上多次走红,这种音乐融合了 asmr、idm 和环境音乐。 在她所有的作品中,无论是流行音乐、俱乐部音乐还是声音拼贴,她的重点是寻找具有挑战性和易于理解之间的结缔组织,始终具有强烈的游戏感。
Swamps and costal estuaries are among the most valuable ecosystems on earth. Not only are they home to an extraordinary variety of plants and animals, but they act like giant sponges or reservoirs. When heavy rains cause flooding, swamps and other wetlands absorb excess water, softening the effects of flooding. Swamps also protect coastal areas from storm surges that can wash away fragile coastline. The swamp ecosystem also acts as a water treatment plant, filtering wastes and purifying water naturally. But for most of history, wetlands were looked upon as sinister and forbidding wastelands that are now under severe threat from climate change, habitat loss, and pollution.
Splice Explores: Swamps unearths the amazing diversity of these precious ecosystems through sound and music. Recorded by Splice’s in-house team and producer/artist Galen Tipton, we captured a massive collection of the gooey, dripping, jittery, thick, and strange chaotic sounds you’ll find in the swamps of the American South. This pack includes deafening frog calls, spooky owl hoots, delicate dragonfly wing flapping, and a ton of strange underwater sounds using a hydrophone. In additional to the many high-fidelity dry field recordings, Galen processed a selection of sounds into entirely unique color bass and hyper pop percussion, drums, synths, and fx that act as perfect hidden gems to any pop or electronic production.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind pack that not only transports you to a precious and bizarre underworld, but it’s a mini library of totally unusual sounds that you won’t find anywhere else. Explore the pack today!
A special thanks to ecologist Julie L. Whitbeck, biologist Gina Zwicky, the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve outside of New Orleans, the Bayou Cocodrie National Wildlife Refuge in Mississippi, and the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area in Louisiana for help with our recordings.
